Open Playtest Update Patchnotes

Open Playtest Update – Core Systems & Progression Changes Now Live!

With the launch of the Open Playtest, we’ve introduced important gameplay changes and new systems aimed at refining combat depth and helping players better track their journey through Absym.

Here’s what’s new:

Enemy Combat Changes

• Enemy Armor Rework Enemy armor has been redesigned to add a new layer of strategy. Armored enemies now require the use of Rift Switch to remove their armor. Without it, they will not take damage. Mastering rift mechanics is now essential to survive tougher encounters.

New Feature: Mission Log / Journal

• Mission Log Added A new Mission Log / Journal system has been introduced to help players keep track of:

  • Main story progression

  • Notes discovered during exploration

  • Lore entries collected by the Rifter

  This makes following the narrative and uncovering the world’s secrets clearer and more accessible.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Miscellaneous bug fixes across multiple systems

• General gameplay improvements and polish based on early playtest feedback

The Rift demands understanding, not brute force. Jump into the Open Playtest and experience Absym as it evolves with the community.
